Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Biden is the president to elect if you want to address climate change! Don't ask how! Just wait until he's inaugurated in 2021.
You don't want trump to get elected. He'd do fracking, cause chemical spills by preventing rail-workers from striking, and allow the supreme court to overturn environmental protections instead of packing the courts!
Jokes aside, don't forget that the president has had the power to address a lot of the bad things that have been happening. This has been true back with Obama if he wanted to decriminalize marijuana, advocate for same sex marriage (one of his campaign promises in 2008), or not increase oil harvesting when we knew climate change was already a thing. Biden could protect abortion rights throughout the US, forgive student debt, make healthcare a right, and address climate change. All if he actually wanted to.
His words and inaction from the beginning of his political career to now prove he doesn't want to.
